An honest, timid little mouse of a girl who occasionally has a scheming side x a cold, aloof, gloomy beauty

Brothers turned rivals in love / stealing someone's partner / falling hard after all

Shen Qingning had always been an ordinary, unremarkable, honest student. One day, something called the System told her that she was the cannon-fodder female side character in a college campus novel.

In the story, the female side character was at Zhao Huainian's beck and call, yet remained hopelessly devoted to him. In the end, he dumped her, and all she could do was take a huge breakup payout and leave in heartbreak.

Shen Qingning didn't like the male lead, Zhao Huainian, but she was poor and really wanted that "huge" breakup payout.

So she treated dating like a job and did her best to play the role of the male lead's love-struck girlfriend.

Until she ran into an obstacle:

Zhao Huainian's good friend, Song Lizhi.

Song Lizhi came from a good family and was handsome, but he was also extremely arrogant. Whenever he saw her tagging along with Zhao Huainian, he never gave her a kind look. He seemed to despise this gold digger who was after his buddy's money.

In the story, Song Lizhi would use ruthless means to deal with her for doing everything she could to cling to the male lead, all to protect his friend. He would show no mercy.

Shen Qingning was frightened just thinking about it, so she planned to keep her distance.

But at a birthday party where everyone had drunk themselves senseless,

Zhao Huainian was fast asleep behind her. Drunk and woozy, Shen Qingning tried to sneak away, only to stumble right into Song Lizhi's arms.

His gaze burned as his expression shifted between anger and pity. He caught her and pulled her into his arms. "Break up with him."

"Date me instead."

"I can give you everything he can."

Dazed after colliding with his chest, Shen Qingning was completely confused: ?

Huh? But wasn't she just a cannon-fodder female side character?

This wasn't what the System had promised would happen in the story at all qwq

--

Song Lizhi wasn't particularly fond of the girl who followed Zhao Huainian around everywhere.

She was love-struck, wore every emotion on her face, and was clumsy at pursuing people.

Could an idiot really be a gold digger?

She was soft and delicate, timid, and afraid of him. Even when their eyes met, she'd hastily look away, as though a few words from him would scare her.

Was he really that scary?

At first, Song Lizhi watched her and Zhao Huainian together with complete indifference: If his buddy wanted to date her, that was his business.

But later, he was grinding his teeth with anger: Zhao Huainian was an idiot who didn't know how to cherish her. That fool Shen Qingning had been deceived by a scumbag!

In countless dreams, Song Lizhi obsessively coveted the treasure that didn't belong to him.

Why couldn't Shen Qingning's beautiful, gentle eyes look only at him?

He wanted to wipe away her tears, get closer to her... kiss her... possess her... make her feel the warmth of his heart beating...

If someone can't even figure out how to date her... then he should step aside and let Song Lizhi do it :)
